Chapter 1011: Sleepless Night
From a distance, a string of drop pods dragging tail flames fell on the plain behind the hills, like hellfire in a fantasy movie, and those warriors who rose from the ruins of steel, like cavalry through the gates of hell, harvested fresh lives in the jumping sparks.

The cold wind at night was blowing, and the wind under the propeller was particularly violent, and the only way to speak was to roar.
Standing at the door of the Mi-8 helicopter, letting the wind rub his hair into a chicken nest, Jiang Chen was holding a military binoculars and looking at the tragic situation of the 11th Ukrainian Artillery Brigade a few kilometers away.
That night, in Admiral Nikolaev's mansion, Jiang Chen made a secret agreement with Pugin on behalf of the Star Ring Trade. At the cost of 100 billion rubles and a military base that will last for 50 years, Transwarp Trade has intervened in the Ukrainian civil war.
Since that day, he has traveled to the Russian-Ukrainian border, accompanied by Natasha, and has stayed at a military base on the border. He first met with the provisional government of the Donetsk Republic and shook hands with his titular employer, a chocolate tycoon.
This week has been very comfortable, Jiang Chen will carry an SVD almost every day and take a helicopter to hunt in the nearby mountains.
As Jiang Chen's security advisor, Natasha naturally had to follow him everywhere. Just when she wondered if he was here for a trip, Jiang Chen suddenly made a rather excessive request.
This time, I won't go hunting in the mountains, but go to the border to relax.
For such a close approach to the Ukrainian government army, Natasha is naturally strongly opposed. The battle plan of the Warp Trade was known to only two Russians, and she was clearly not one of them. Although her task was to fully cooperate with Jiang Chen, in her opinion, this did not include messing around with him.
However, Jiang Chen is the kind of person who listens to persuasion, he has the authority personally granted by the Russian president, and he does not need Natasha's consent at all, and directly applies for this flight mission to the military base. The head of the military base escalated his request, and soon received an approved reply, and a helicopter and two pilots were in position on the tarmac, accompanied by four Alpha special forces.
In desperation, Natasha had to follow Jiang Chen to board the Mi-8 helicopter.
Risking being knocked down, it crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border, and the Mi-8 reached its current location by avoiding radar near the edges of the forest and foothills.
Of course, the helicopter has only been able to fly here recently, and the pilot will not go any further.
Such artillery brigades are often equipped with anti-aircraft guns and radar vehicles, and experience has told him that this place is quite close to the radar scanning radius, and a little further on, even a blind person can find a helicopter here. Jiang Chen could only make do with the telescope, and he couldn't observe the first battle of the Airborne Forces in the Star Ring Trade Orbit up close.
However, experience apparently did not tell the Maozi pilot that the 11th Artillery Brigade did not have the opportunity to turn on radar aiming at all.
It had only been ten minutes, and the entire brigade had been crushed by the unexpected attack, bullets flying in the air, and the flames of the explosion flashed one after another. The soldiers of the Ukrainian government army hurriedly returned fire with the AK in their hands, but they still could not turn the doomed tide of the battle, and died one after another under the guns of the orbital airborne troops.
The only two armoured vehicles were pierced by individual rocket launchers, trucks carrying rocket tubes were blown to iron slag by sticky bombs, and ammunition racks piled up on the ground exploded one after another, blooming orange-red broccoli on the plains.
The end of the 11th Artillery Brigade is already doomed, and there is nothing to see if you look at it any longer. Sitting back in the helicopter, Jiang Chen threw the military binoculars in his hand to Natasha, who was looking at the distance in a daze, and joked with a smile.
"Isn't it spectacular?"
Hurriedly catching the telescope thrown by Jiang Chen, Natasha woke up from her stupor, raised the telescope and looked at the battlefield in the distance.
She had never seen such a bizarre war.
The fighting there is largely over, with only sporadic resistance and understatement of mending.
Prior to the establishment of the military base, Transwarp Trade had no conditions to contain captives, and had no intention of accepting surrender. As for the Geneva Conventions, that thing can only restrain the regular army, and it means nothing to them.
"That's ...... Airborne Forces?"
"That's right. Answering Natasha's question lightly, Jiang Chen reached out and patted the pilot's backrest, "Today's flight mission is over, and you can return." Hurry up, any later Ukrainian planes should come. ”
There is no need for Jiang Chen to say, the pilot also knows.
There was such a big commotion, and the whole of Ukraine had to be lively. The hatch was pulled up, and the helicopter began to turn around and return home.
Swallowing and foaming, Natasha lowered her binoculars and withdrew her gaze that had been glued to the outside of the cabin.
"They...... Where did it come from? the Crimean military base? or ......"
"Neither," Jiang Chen shook his head, raised an eyebrow smugly at her, then raised his hand and pointed upward, "They belong to the Star Ring Trade Air and Space Defense Force, the Orbital Airborne Brigade. ”
The Alpha Special Forces next to him had oil green and inky black camouflage on their faces, Jiang Chen couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but it was not difficult to guess the shock in their hearts at this moment.
After hearing Jiang Chen's reply, Natasha was slightly stunned, and then shouted anxiously in a low voice, "Stupid! don't talk about this kind of thing casually-"
"It doesn't matter, the whole world will know tomorrow anyway. Jiang Chen raised his arm and looked at his watch, "In about five hours, we will have a second round of airdrops." As a result, we have two brigades of troops on the territory of Ukraine. Although there is still a huge difference in numbers with the mercenaries of the Arrowheads, we never win by quantity. ”
In addition, he did not expect to fight this war in a short period of time.
There is a qualitative gap between the Ukrainian government army and the Philippines, which determines that this war cannot replicate the success of the Manila landings. This gap is not only reflected in weaponry, but also in tactical thinking, organizational degree, geopolitics, and other factors.
On the other hand, the supply line of the Star Ring Trade will be lengthened, although Mao Zi will help transport them, but some sensitive weapons Jiang Chen will not be relieved to hand them over, so he can only take the airlift directly to the military base on the front line, or directly airdrop it from outer space.
If the Arrowhead Company mercenaries continue to replenish the front line from the Ukrainian-Polish border, this war is destined to turn into a tug-of-war.
But there is only one thing that Jiang Chen is not worried about, and that is the end of this war.
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, she gasped and repeated the details of his words in an unbelievable tone.
"Two brigades, that is, you just ......"
"That's right," Jiang Chen smiled, "The whole brigade was airborne, you were surprised?"
"I shouldn't have been surprised. I should have known that the person sitting across from me was a madman. Natasha rolled her eyes and grumbled.
Seeing Natasha roll her eyes, Jiang Chen grinned.
He'd been noticing that she wasn't in a high mood these days, as if she had been on leave that night to avoid the drinking party. The main reason why I pulled her out tonight was really to distract myself.
For the next hour of the flight, the two never spoke again. Jiang Chen leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, while Natasha digested all the shock she felt tonight. Because it was so shocking that she even began to worry about the report she was about to write.
Airdropping directly from outer space and deploying an entire airborne brigade anywhere in the world within a few hours will undoubtedly change the landscape of future wars if this tactic becomes widespread.
Willingly or not, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for all those caught up in this maelstrom. (To be continued.) )
